After a long winter of rain and snow, Mother Nature has been helpful lately with sunshine and green grass returning to many parts of the US and Canada. This change in weather is just in time for the 5th Annual Spring Festival of LXs almost 700 LX-platform vehicles descend upon southern California for an unforgettable weekend of sights and sounds. Touted as the largest gathering of LX/LC owners anywhere, the Spring Festival is four days of LX excitement as some of the most highly-modified and cleanest 300s, Magnums, Challengers and Chargers are displayed under the California sun. In addition to all the gleaming metal, SF5 will also present a rare opportunity for forum members who regularly exchange quips and tips on the web to meet each other face-to-face. “It’s all about bringing the virtual world to reality,” explained Spring Fest organizer John Fortuno, “This [SF5] is where you see it all.”

As with previous Spring Festival of LXs events, a number of limited edition and motorsports vehicles will be making an appearance along with official representatives from both the Chrysler and Dodge brands. The Red Letter Dodge team will also be in attendance with live coverage of the event on Facebook, Twitter and of course, right here on Red Letter Dodge.

For more information on the event, please visit SoCalLX.com or the dedicated Spring Festival discussion at LX Forums.

With all the silence from RLD, it looks like they have no idea what they are going to offer next year or if there will be a next year. Please let us know if Dodge plans to offer the Challenger in sublime next year, if not I will go ahead and purchase a plum crazy one with the free $2,000 worth of Mopar accessories and the 1.9% financing rate. Thanks!

Sublime: As much as I would love to tell you, we have not released any new information on future colors and options other than what you have seen here. I can say that your voices have been heard, but have no information on whether or not that color will become an option.

Thanks, RLD. I know your hands are tied by some indecisive bureaucrat, but we all have the same issues at work. We were hoping Sergio would change things for the best, however, it looks like things are the same. I guess the only thing the Fiat boys are doing is making you use their architecture for everything so more money can go back to Italy. It looks like Daimler all over again.
